One hundred years ago, before the independent country of Jordan was created, a certain British military officer called T.E. Lawrence led an army of the Arab Revolt on a grueling, two-month march through the desert that was believed to be impassable, and captured the Red Sea town of Aqaba on the other side. Immortalised in a 1962 movie, he was better known as Lawrence of Arabia, and because there’s footage of him piloting a Ford Model T in Wadi Rum, Ford invited us to Jordan to retrace Lawrence’s march in the comfort of modern Ford SUVs. The connection isn’t particularly tenuous,

Porsche has finally done it. With the need to increase performance while also improving fuel economy numbers in line with upcoming worldwide legislations, Porsche has taken the turbocharged route with their new Boxster and 911 models. We got a chance to drive these two models at an event in Abu Dhabi recently.

The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority has launched a new initiative entitled ‘Reflect Your Special Moments on Your Number Plate’, offering residents a chance to select five-digit vehicle number-plates signifying important dates and events in their lives such as birthdays, wedding dates and graduation dates.

The Jeep Wrangler pickup has been a hot topic for years, as fanboys wonder whether Chrysler would build one or not. There have been expensive kits and aftermarket conversions, and while the current rumours say a factory version is indeed on the way, there is now a much cheaper kit to make a Jeep pickup of sorts.

We’re done with the Range Rover. It’s been almost 4 years since we bought it, and we were supposed to sell it years ago, but we kept it for this long because it was just so darn satisfying to drive around in. But we finally made up our minds and put it up for sale on just our genuinely-popular Facebook page, and sold it in less than a week.

Cadillac recently changed their naming system yet again, and their first sedan to adopt it is the all-new 2017 Cadillac CT6, set to go on sale in the UAE and other GCC countries very soon. We had a chance to drive their new flagship sedan at an event in Abu Dhabi.

Mazda unveiled the 2017 CX-4 crossover at the 2016 Beijing Motor Show, in a surprise move that no one expected. The “coupe-style” crossover is exclusively for the Chinese market, which is even more surprising.

It has been quite a long time since we posted an update about our Renault Megane. Nine months, three dealer services, and 37,000 km later, the odometer in our Megane now ticked over at 67,246 km, thanks to my other business that requires a lot of driving. Contrary to popular belief, the Megane seems to be easy on running costs even with dealer maintenance, so its Nissan underpinnings are a blessing.
